Hamas
Propaganda Lies
At the
time of writing this, Israel ha just celebrated 70th
anniversary of its formation by the UN, Palestinians have bemoaned 70
years since “catastrophe” and the US has opened its embassy in
East Jerusalem.
Hamas has
organised huge “demonstrations” along the Gaza Strip / Israel
border. The intent appears to have been to break through the border fence and cause mischief - perhaps attacking nearby Israeli communities.
TV pictures have shown Palestinians burning tires (for a
smoke-screen), slinging stones over the border and pulling razor wire from the border fence in apparent attempt to break through. Other
images have been of Israeli forces firing tear gas, and Palestinians
carrying and mourning dead and wounded.
On one day
Israeli forces reportedly killed 65 or 70 Palestinians. There has
been outrage against Israel led by leftist groups. There was a
demonstration in Melbourne where I live with people carrying Hamas
flags – regardless that Hamas is proscribed as a terrorist group even
by anti-Israel European countries! Naturally the claim was that these
were all “innocent people” in a “peaceful demonstration”.
However to substantiate the numbers, Hamas published the names of
theose it claimed were killed. But 50 of those names were identified
as Hamas operatives – that it terrorists!
Only week
ago three Christian churches in Indonesia were atttacked by suicide
bombers. The bombers in this case were all one family – father,
mother, sons and little daughters. Yes, a “devout” Islamist
mother strapped explosives to her very young daughters and led them
into a church where sh detonated the bombs. The relevance of this is
that Hamas (though Shia rather than Sunni) has the same fanatical
attitude. They have no compunction in using civilians as human
shields, and sending even babies into harms way (an 18 month baby
died at the demonstrations from the effects of tear gas) and then
using their deaths for propaganda.
We
must learn from our gullibility over Communist propaganda during the
Vietnam war which resulted in millions of innocent deaths. We must
reject Hamas' lies!

I mentioned “PragerU” videoettes. Here is an interesting short
one on the past Gaza Strip / Israel conflict by a British Army
Officer who was actually in the Gaza strip.
